The Crucifixion


The story of Jesus on the cross is well known by all Christians, the story is told more than once in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all having slightly different interpretations but ultimately telling the same story.

Jesus on the Cross

The story of Jesus' crucifixion is told more than once in the bible. Matthew 27.31-44, Mark 15.22-32, Luke 23.26-43 and John 19.16-27 all have slightly different interpretations but ultimately tell the same story.

Matthew 27.31-44
31 When the soldiers had finished making fun of Jesus, they took off the robe. They put his own clothes back on him and led him off to be nailed to a cross. 32 On the way they met a man from Cyrene named Simon, and they forced him to carry Jesus' cross.

33 They came to a place named Golgotha, which means "Place of a Skull." 34 There they gave Jesus some wine mixed with a drug to ease the pain. But when Jesus tasted what it was, he refused to drink it.

35 The soldiers nailed Jesus to a cross and gambled to see who would get his clothes. 36 Then they sat down to guard him. 37 Above his head they put a sign that told why he was nailed there. It read, "This is Jesus, the King of the Jews." 38 The soldiers also nailed two criminals on crosses, one to the right of Jesus and the other to his left.

39 People who passed by said terrible things about Jesus. They shook their heads and 40 shouted, "So you're the one who claimed you could tear down the temple and build it again in three days! If you are God's Son, save yourself and come down from the cross!"

41 The chief priests, the leaders, and the teachers of the Law of Moses also made fun of Jesus. They said, 42 "He saved others, but he can't save himself. If he is the king of Israel, he should come down from the cross! Then we will believe him. 43 He trusted God, so let God save him, if he wants to. He even said he was God's Son." 44 The two criminals also said cruel things to Jesus.

The above is the story of Jesus on the cross from Matthew 27.13-44 taken from the bible. For the passages wrote by Mark, Luke and John simply go to Bible Gateway and compare the stories for yourself. Enter the passage and it'll find it for you.
